Hi, I have a problem with the 'type' attribute of the depedencies maven-ant task.
I have installed plugin components for my app of type 'abc' into my server's repository. I specified this using <packaging>abc</packaging> in the plugins' pom.xml. In fact 'abc' archives are jars. But i chose a different type to be able to easily select all plugins using: <artifact:dependencies pomrefid="core.pom" filesetid="plugin.fileset" type="abc"> <copy todir="${plugin.dir}"> <fileset refid="plugin.fileset"/> </copy> The main application contains dependencies like: <dependency> <groupId>myGroup</groupId> <artifactId>plugin1</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <type>abc</type> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> The plugings are loaded without problems from my server into my pc's local repository. But the ant copy task doesn't copy any 'abc' files to the plugin dir. If I specify the plugins explicitly: <artifact:dependencies filesetid="plugin.fileset" > <artifact:dependency groupId="myGroup" artifactId="plugin1" version="0.0.1-SNAPSHOT" type="abc" scope="runtime" /> </artifact:dependencies> Everything works as expected: testtask: [copy] Copying 1 file to D:\project\plugins\ BUILD SUCCESSFUL To sum it up: If I set dependecies type to "jar" he copies only the jars to my plugin dir. If I don't set dependecies he copies everything to my plugin dir (jars + abcs) If I set dependecies type to "abc" he copies nothing to my plugin dir. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? How can i fix this? Greetings Tom
